Like the infamous Naked Palette, the LORAC Pro Palette quickly earned cult status among beauty lovers everywhere. But as swoon-worthy as the first palette proved, we’ve gotta say that the third edition has stolen its #1 spot. With 16 shadows in total (8 shimmer, 8 matte) and an impressive variety of ultra-pigmented, ultra-wearable hues, we can assure you it’s the perfect palette to own whether you’re a beginner or a pro.

Whether you fancy an intense smoky eye or just some everyday definition, Smashbox’s Full Exposure Palette has got it on lock.

Ah, the OG Naked Palette. Where it all began! We have to write an ode to the first in the lineup of some of the best-selling shadow palettes on the market. With 12 buttery shades ranging from a high-impact gold to chocolate-brown and more, this palette is truly universal — and most definitely lives up to the hype.

If you’re someone who prefers a tad more variety when it comes to your neutrals (think deep cranberry and rose), then Tarte’s Tarlette In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette is right up your alley. Aside from the kickass shade lineup, these shadows are also as soft and as pigmented as it gets. Bonus points: the fallout is very minimal!

Anything over 10 shadows seem too overwhelming? If that’s you, then we highly suggest this 9-pan palette from Too Faced that comes equipped with all the hues you need to create a low-maintenance eye look that elicits envy.

Cheers to justifying splurges, amirite?!
